When Jack is around, it is always time for a party. On the 4th of July he arrived at the El Dorado County picnic grounds to stake out a site for the CCL annual "4th of July Picnic". (Editor's note: Word has it that the "4th of July Picnic" will now be coupled with the annual "Davies Family Goodbye Luncheon")

As soon as members had arrived and unloaded their items, the eating began, and went on and on and on

The festivities continued. Here Fran tries to convince one of the kids that brownies are a vegtable.

Steve Slinkard, who worked with Jack and Irene at the Corps of Engineers, meets Catrina & Vickey.
